Stephen stopped right in front of Yvonne. "Work has been busy recently. I don't have much time to spend with the children. "I'll let them stay in Miller Villa for the time being. You can look after them. You were gone for a long time. Use this time to catch up with Elvin."Stephen looked upstairs. "Besides, I don't think they want to come with me anyway."Yvonne found it strange. What had Otto said to Stephen? Why did Stephen's tone sound much better than before?"I'm going."Before Yvonne could react, Stephen turned around and left.He left so suddenly, as if he had come over just to have breakfast.After Otto and Stephen left, the world was finally at peace once more. Yvonne thought of Elvin. Just as she was about to head upstairs, she heard scurried footsteps coming toward her."Ms. Miller, I only just saw this message Chelsea had sent me last night."Edith raised her phone in front of Yvonne. "She said she had a huge fight with the family, and she wants to come to see me.
At Northerna City Airport, Yvonne and Edith stood outside the arrival hall. They spotted someone in colorful clothes. They didn't need to see the person's face clearly to know that it was Chelsea.Soon, Chelsea noticed them as well. She excitedly waved her hands. Her exaggerated moves attracted many people's attention.Chelsea ran over to them and hugged Edith. "Aunt Edith, I've missed you!""You silly child." Edith smiled and pushed Chelsea away. "You didn't even wait for me to reply to you. Why did you come here straight away?""Why?" Chelsea pretended to be unhappy. "Are you not happy to see me?""No. I'm just worried that your mother will be unhappy." Edith asked seriously, "Be honest. Did you tell Heidi that you came to Northerna City?""More or less." Chelsea furrowed her brows, clearly impatient. "Aunt Edith, I'm already here. Don't bring up Mom anymore. She annoys me."Edith couldn't help but say, "No matter how bad your argument might have been, she's still your mothe
"Uh…" Edith was a little conflicted. She subconsciously looked at Yvonne. "I'm still living with Ms. Miller, so it's a little inconvenient—""You're staying at Yvonne's place? That's even better!" Chelsea's eyes sparkled. She looked at Yvonne eagerly. "Yvonne, you're such a nice person. You won't say no to me, will you? I really left the house in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a lot of money with me. "Knowing my mom, she will freeze my card sooner or later. When that happens, I really won't have anywhere to go."That is indeed something Heidi would do." Edith looked at Yvonne, speaking on behalf of Chelsea. "Ms. Miller, why don't we let Chelsea share the room with me? I'll look for a place soon. We won't disturb you for too long.""Don't be silly." Yvonne looked at Chelsea. "Since Ms. Carrington was kicked out of the family because she stood up for you, we can't let her suffer too much.""Awesome!" Chelsea jumped happily. "Thank you, Yvonne!""You don't need to thank
"Uh…" Chelsea realized that she had slipped up. She quickly thought of something."It was that case, but one of my coursemate's internship experience turned out to be better than mine, so the professor gave it to her instead.""How could this happen?" Edith was angry. "They had already agreed to give it to you. How could they just give it to someone else? Your coursemates must have laughed at you!""Yes." Chelsea looked at Edith aggrievedly. "I don't dare tell my mom about this yet. I'm just afraid she will yell at me for being useless. Please don't tell her.""Of course I won't. But…" Edith looked troubled. "You won't be able to lie for too long. When it's time for your graduation, Heidi will definitely find out.""I know, and I've been worrying about that for a long time. But I finally have a solution!"Seeing Chelsea's confident gaze, Edith became curious. "What is it?""I'll learn from you. We can work together with Ms. Miller. This will be a great experience to add to my re
The room was silent for a while. Yvonne suddenly asked, "Don't you think she has an ulterior motive?"Edith was a little perplexed. "What do you mean?""She's here because of you."It was clear that Chelsea wanted to take advantage of Edith, but if Yvonne were to say it explicitly, she would seem like she was maliciously speculating.Thus, Yvonne chose a rather indirect way of saying it. "You are relatives. I'm an outsider, so I might not know much. But Chelsea doesn't look as simple-minded to me."Besides, she's Heidi's daughter. If she were to stay with you, Heidi would be the first one to cause trouble. I'm worried this will affect you too."I know you're just being kind, but you have to be cautious sometimes."Edith furrowed her brows. "Ms. Miller, you're overthinking this. I watched Chelsea grow up. She's been an innocent child since she was young. She isn't a scheming person."As for Heidi, I will keep this from her for the time being. I don't think she'd come to Northern
After that day, Chelsea had been following Edith everywhere. Edith smiled much more with Chelsea there to keep her company.During this time, Yvonne had discussed Chelsea with Otto as well. They had the same opinion. As long as Chelsea didn't have any ulterior motives, there was no harm in letting her stay.No matter what, Edith was truly happy, thanks to Chelsea.After the jewelry exhibition, Yvonne had a lot of work to do. She gradually put the Chelsea issue behind her.…That day, she drove to work as usual. Just as she was about to head into the underground parking lot, she saw a figure out of the corner of her eye.She seemed to have sensed the icy air the figure exuded. She instinctively slammed on the brakes and turned around to look.However, the figure had already disappeared.Yvonne was sure that she wasn't hallucinating. She immediately unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. She ran to where she'd spotted the figure in her high heels.She was so busy trying
Half an hour later, Stephen got the surveillance footage. He showed it to Yvonne on his phone.Just as Stephen had expected, the footage showed the corner of the wall and captured Mark in plain view.Mark had even deliberately looked at the camera. He was clearly provoking them! Yvonne gritted her teeth. "He's in Northerna City! What's he trying to do?""Since he's been able to move so freely, I'm guessing someone must be helping him cover up his tracks." Stephen put his phone away and added coldly, "Mrs. Carrington Senior has been helping him this whole time. Now that he dares to show up right in front of us, I'm guessing he will soon return to the Carrington family. He showed up here to tease us about his return.""He is really getting more and more cocky! We have to inform Mr. Carrington about this as soon as possible so that he can be prepared."Yvonne was about to return to her car to grab her phone. She had forgotten about the pain in her ankle, and she stumbled forward.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the car window.Yvonne jumped and instinctively shoved Stephen aside. She looked out the window to see two security guards trying to look inside the car.Unfortunately for them, the car windows were tinted. The guards could see nothing, so they could only keep knocking on the window.At that moment, Yvonne realized that she'd stopped her car right at the entrance to the underground parking lot. She was blocking other cars from entering. She had to move her car away quickly.She patiently said to Stephen, "I'll go and move the car. Don't come out, okay?" Before Stephen could reply, she opened the car door and got out. Then, she shut the door quickly, slamming it right in Stephen's face.Stephen was a little stunned. Then, he chuckled. They were legally married, yet it felt like they were having an affair.Yvonne roughly explained her situation to the security guard before returning to the driver's seat. Then, she drove the car into the un
